On Saturday, April 26, 2014, we will have our 4th Annual Run for the Woods fun run. This year’s fun run will be in honor of one of our students, Meadow Johnson. Her mother is a teacher at Andy Woods. Meadow was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder, and is being treated for a brain tumor. This condition causes tumors to grow anywhere in or on the body along various nerves and can affect the development of non-nervous tissues such as bones & skin. All proceeds from this event will be given to this Andy Wood’s family, the Johnson's, to help with medical expenses as well as travel expenses for Meadow's medical visits.

Registration forms are available by clicking on the documents tab.

Thank You!!

As always, part of our school’s mission is to promote happy, healthy children. Last year, our Run for theWOODS! helped two of our staff members, Coach Ashley Phelps and Mrs. Gloria Torres family. Coach Phelps was severely injured in an automobile accident and Mrs. Torres husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Sadly Mr. Torres passed away shortly after the race last year. We thank everyone of you that supported them! The proceeds went to these two Andy Woods families to help with medical expenses.
